Earth Tree
Taipei
Located across the street from La Maison and Veltiver Apothecary, Earth Tree's
specialty is fair trade clothing and accessories from People Tree and Nepali Bazaro, two well-established Japanese brands that are both certified by the World Fair Trade Organization, a group that sets trading standards. Items currently in the store include cozy knitwear made in Nepal and sterling silver jewelry crafted in Thailand and India.
Choose from a wide selection of hand-knit scarves (about NT$1,200 to NT$1,800) for holiday gifts. Small Taiwanese labels are also represented, including Yarn Passions (炙愛毛線www.yarnpassions.tw), which imports and hand-dyes yarn made from plant and animal fibers harvested, prepared and spun using environmentally friendly practices.
